Gerard Plunkett, who has been in many different films, is the narrator and the older gentleman in A Fabled Holiday.
There are many reasons why people seem to love holiday movies, ranging from quality family time to plain old merry viewing, which is what makes the genre so popular.
A Fabled Holiday is one of the films on this year’s Hallmark Countdown to Christmas event, and it sets itself apart in this genre by having a narrator, Gerard Plunkett, who narrates the story throughout the film.
What makes holiday movies so popular?
A Fabled Holiday is only one of the many, many holiday films that are released every year, including straight-to-television and big blockbuster releases.
The popularity of holiday movies can be attributed to many elements in the movies themselves and the general merriment that people feel around this festive time of the year.
These films are often easy to follow and suitable for the entire family, which makes them the perfect way to get into the holiday spirit and to share some cherished memories with the people in your life that you are closest to.
Who Narrates A Fabled Holiday?
A Fabled Holiday is a Hallmark Channel original movie that was first released on 3 December 2022 as part of the channel’s annual Countdown to Christmas event.
The Hallmark Channel’s Countdown to Christmas event is a popular ply to capitalise on their reputation of creating some of the most typical, cheesy holiday movies, specials, and holiday-themed original programs every year.
Furthermore, this block of programming has become very popular among fans who love this type of content.
However, all of this Hallmark Channel holiday content can start to seem very “same-same” after a while, and A Fabled Holiday has become known as one of the films in this genre that puts a slight spin on what audiences expect from a Christmas rom-com.
A Fabled Holiday follows the story of two childhood best friends who used to be obsessed with a Christmas-themed book called “A Wunderbrook Christmas Story” in their youth.
When Talia and Anderson meet again when they are adults, they cross paths in a town that looks quite similar to the town from this story, but as their time in this town passes, the local townspeople all start worrying that they will not be able to get the two together by the Night of Wunder event, which will jeopardise the magic of the town.
The storybook element in A Fabled Holiday definitely gives it a unique point of view and Gerard Plunkett, who narrates the story throughout, really drives home the idea that these two friends are starring in their own fable of sorts.
